his name has been indissolubly associated with this branch of
music, which he made his life-work. He succeeded also in making
male part-singing an important part of the national musical art.
Through the formation of numerous choral societies throughout
the country, and by the holding of semi-official choral festivals,
male voice part-singing has gained a considerable hold.
Behrens had many eminent co-operators, among them especially
the organist and musical director in Fredrikshald, F. A. Reissiger
(1809—1883), who. among other things, has composed a series of
capital four-part songs in true Norse spirit.
When Behrens died, his mantle fell upon O. A. Grøndahl
(born 1847) who had been his fellow-worker for many years, and
who has taken upon himself the direction of several of the largest
choral societies in Kristiania, and is also well known as a composer.
